The positive integer exponent n indicates the number of times the base x is repeated as a factor.

Errors in measurements can be made if the scientist does not know how to properly use the equipment or if the equipment is damaged. It is important that you know the types of equipment a scientists uses and the basic units that are found on the equipment. In addition, memorize and be able to apply the necessary conversion factors for this course.

We adopt two approaches that make dealing with astronomical numbers a little bit easier. First, we use a system for writing large and small numbers called scientific notation (or sometimes powers-of-ten notation). This system is very appealing because it eliminates the many zeros that can seem overwhelming to the reader.
